What is Rosacea?<\/h2>\n

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects over three million Canadians. Central face is the most commonly affected area.<\/p>\n

The first sign may be intermittent redness or blushing. Over time, the redness may become persistent and more visible. The most common sites for symptoms are the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. Sometimes rosacea may involve the eyes as well, and include symptoms such as bloodshot eyes that feel gritty. More than half of rosacea sufferers may experience eye symptoms.<\/p>\n

Bumps, tiny pus-filled pimples and enlarged blood vessels can also appear, giving skin a rough, uneven appearance. Rosacea symptoms can vary from one person to another and severity is unpredictable. There is no known cure, but it can be managed with appropriate treatment and lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n

Rarely, rosacea can present as thickened, swollen, and bumpy skin on the nose called rhynophyma. Rhynophyma develops when the oil-producing glands and surrounding connective tissues become enlarged. Rhynophyma develops in some men who have rosacea, and very rarely in women with rosacea.<\/p>\n

Rosacea usually develops in adults between ages 30 and 50. It affects both men and women, although it seems to affect more women. It tends to affect people with fair skin, such as those of northern and eastern European descent (e.g. Irish, English, Scottish), although rosacea can develop in any skin type.<\/p>\n
